A private advisory boutique connecting institutional principals and decision-makers across Libya, the European Union, and the United States.
United International Group is a private strategic advisory and facilitation boutique founded by former senior diplomats, government officials, and veteran business architects.
"We do not consult. We do not broker. We do not scale.
We facilitate what matters—with discretion, precision, and singular access."
Our principals have served at ministerial and ambassadorial levels across Libya, the European Union, and the United States. This rare combination affords us direct, trusted relationships with the individuals who shape policy, control capital, and execute at scale.
We work with a highly selective client base. Every engagement is bespoke. Every introduction is intentional.
United International Group was not built in a boardroom. It was forged across decades of service at the highest levels of government, diplomacy, and international commerce.
Our founders navigated the corridors of power in Tripoli, Brussels, and Washington long before establishing this boutique. They served during periods of historic transformation — and maintained trusted relationships through every transition.
"Where others withdrew, we remained.
Where access closed, ours endured.
Where trust eroded, ours deepened."
This is not a firm that entered Libya when conditions improved. We have been present — actively, continuously, and consequentially — for over three decades. That continuity is our most valuable asset.
Architecting and facilitating institutional investments into Libya and the broader MENA corridor. Energy, infrastructure, real estate, industrial assets. We connect capital to opportunity—with full contextual intelligence.
Direct facilitation with relevant ministries, central authorities, and regulatory bodies in Tripoli, Brussels, and Washington. We do not lobby. We advise principals who already have the mandate—and ensure execution is seamless.
Structuring bankable PPP frameworks for infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and technology projects—with pre-negotiated governmental and institutional alignment.
Introducing vetted counterparties—family offices, sovereign entities, institutional platforms—to non-public opportunities that require trust, timing, and context to succeed.
We operate exclusively in sectors where access, timing, and institutional trust determine outcomes. Our principals bring direct operational and policy experience across each.
Upstream, midstream, and downstream facilitation across Libya's hydrocarbon corridor. Direct relationships with NOC, international majors, and regulatory authorities governing exploration, production-sharing, and export.
Advisory and strategic facilitation for sovereign wealth funds, state investment authorities, and central reserve platforms. Asset allocation strategy, cross-border deployment, and co-investment structuring.
Roads, ports, airports, water, power, and telecommunications. We structure bankable frameworks and align political, financial, and operational stakeholders before ground is broken.
Institutional-grade real estate transactions in Tripoli, Misrata, and select European markets. Commercial, residential, and mixed-use assets with sovereign or quasi-sovereign counterparties.
Facilitating institutional relationships between Libyan financial entities and international banking platforms. Correspondent banking, trade finance, and capital market access.
Solar, wind, hydrogen, and grid modernization projects across North Africa. We connect European and American clean energy capital with MENA deployment opportunities.
Discreet facilitation in regulated sectors requiring governmental alignment, end-user certification, and multi-jurisdictional compliance. We advise — we do not trade.
Hospital infrastructure, pharmaceutical supply chain, and medical technology partnerships. Public-private frameworks for healthcare modernization in Libya and the broader region.
We do not operate in every sector. We operate where our access creates decisive advantage.
We advise sovereign wealth platforms, family offices, and institutional asset owners on the strategic deployment and protection of generational capital.
Advisory to investment authorities on portfolio diversification, international asset allocation, and strategic co-investment — with particular expertise in deploying MENA-origin capital into European and American markets.
Bespoke facilitation for ultra-high-net-worth families seeking cross-border investment opportunities, succession structuring, and institutional-grade governance frameworks.
Structuring private investment vehicles and facilitating introductions between fund managers and qualified institutional LPs — sovereign, quasi-sovereign, and private.
Advising on the protection, recovery, and restructuring of sovereign and private assets across multiple jurisdictions — including frozen, disputed, or politically sensitive holdings.
Facilitating the lawful repatriation of Libyan and MENA-origin capital held in international jurisdictions — in full compliance with applicable regulatory and sanctions frameworks.
Capital at this scale does not seek returns alone. It seeks trust, continuity, and absolute discretion. That is what we provide.
Our boutique operates at the intersection of jurisdictions that rarely align:
Decades-deep relationships with government, regulatory bodies, sovereign platforms, and established business families. We were active before 2011. We remained engaged throughout.
Former senior EU officials among our partners. Direct understanding of Commission dynamics, Parliament influence, and member-state coordination on North Africa policy.
Trusted access within State, Commerce, Treasury, and key congressional offices. We understand how American institutions evaluate risk—and how they move when conditions are right.
Deep relationships with GCC sovereign wealth platforms, ruling family offices, and ministerial networks. We bridge MENA capital with Libyan opportunity and European markets.
Selective engagement in high-growth African markets where Libyan, European, and Gulf capital seeks infrastructure and energy deployment.
We are one of the only boutiques worldwide with genuine senior-level access across all five regions simultaneously.
Our reach extends far beyond our offices. United International Group maintains a curated network of institutional relationships that we have built, tested, and relied upon over decades.
We do not maintain a network for scale. We maintain it for precision — knowing exactly whom to call, and being answered.
"Structured and closed $480M infrastructure joint venture between European contractor consortium and Libyan sovereign counterpart."
"Facilitated $250M+ capital raise for state-backed renewable energy platform in Libya, with U.S. and EU institutional investors."
"Advised GCC family office on acquisition of strategic real estate portfolio in Tripoli—completed without competitive tension."
"Opened EU market access for Libyan industrial group, resulting in €180M+ in export agreements."
"Coordinated tri-lateral regulatory clearance for cross-border energy infrastructure project involving Libyan NOC, European offtaker, and U.S. financing."
Before any investment is structured or partnership formed, our principals provide institutional-grade strategic intelligence that no public report can replicate.
Real-time assessment of Libya's political dynamics, factional alignment, and decision-making structures — from individuals who have operated within them.
Early visibility into upcoming regulatory changes, licensing frameworks, and policy shifts across our core jurisdictions.
Deep background on potential partners, government counterparts, and institutional stakeholders — leveraging relationships, not just databases.
Comprehensive identification of political, security, legal, and reputational risks — with actionable mitigation strategies, not theoretical frameworks.
Bespoke roadmaps for institutional entry into Libya and North Africa — covering entity structuring, regulatory approvals, local partnerships, and cultural navigation.
Our intelligence is not researched. It is known — because our principals have been in the room where decisions were made.

Operating at the intersection of sovereign interests, institutional capital, and complex geopolitics demands more than discretion. It demands an unassailable framework of governance, compliance, and ethical conduct.
Full adherence to applicable sanctions regimes (OFAC, EU, UN), anti-money laundering frameworks, and international anti-bribery conventions. We engage specialist external counsel for every cross-border mandate.
Rigorous internal protocols ensure no overlapping mandates, no competing interests, and no undisclosed relationships. Every engagement is evaluated independently by our principals.
All communications, introductions, and advisory outputs are treated as privileged. We execute mutual non-disclosure agreements at the outset of every engagement. Information compartmentalization is standard practice.
We decline mandates that conflict with international humanitarian standards, environmental sustainability principles, or our institutional values. Selectivity is not a constraint — it is our standard.
We have never been subject to regulatory action, sanctions inquiry, or reputational challenge. Our record is clean because our standards are absolute.
Confidentiality is absolute. References available upon mutual introduction.
United International Group operates on a retained advisory basis. We do not compete for mandates. We do not pitch.
Initial conversations are exploratory, confidential, and non-binding. If there is strategic alignment, we propose a bespoke scope tailored to your objectives.
All engagements are private. All communications are privileged.
Our principals periodically share strategic perspectives on the markets, geographies, and sectors where we operate. These are not published for visibility — they are shared with our network as a signal of depth.
Full perspectives are available to qualified counterparties upon request.
